A hiker is climbing up a steep path. Halfway up, he finds the muscles in his

scoray [572]

Answer:

A. He has a large buildup of lactate in his muscles.

Explanation:

Ideally, our body cells, via the process of aerobic cellular respiration, need oxygen to break down glucose. However, during rigorous activities or exercises, oxygen can become unavailable for use. In this case, the body cells switch to use another way of cellular respiration, which is FERMENTATION.

This fermentation causes a build up of lactic acid/lactate (its byproduct) in the cells of the muscles being used, which physically causes a burning and aching sensation just as the case of this hiker. The climbing of the steep path is causing causing the fast usage of oxygen in his cells.

How the process of natural selection canexplainhow evolution occurs?

harkovskaia [24]

In natural selection, there are three main things you need to know. There must be a variance in the genepool of course, or else to selection or evolution will take place. There also must be a selective force and time. Now, lets say that there is a population of many colored moths. But lets say that the brown colored moth blends in with the environment. This means that predators (selective force in this case) will have a much harder time finding these brown moths instead of easily finding some of the other colored moths (variation). This means that the brown moths will survive at a much higher rate because the are harder to find, and over time, the gene pool will narrow down to just brown moths because the rest of the moths die out due to predators and competition. This also means that this moth species has evolved over time to just become the brown colored moths only. Hope you can understand this but feel free to ask for clarification.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

During conducting the experiment, it was performed in control conditions. In this case the top predators were removed.

There were limited number of organism left at the place which compete with each other for the same resources.

Mussel and Barnacle were the two species left there which feed on the same resources for their needs. This is the reason there was loss of diversity.
